Apologizing for past relationships

I'd like to ask for some thoughts and opinions on something.

If someone hurt you. And they recognized that they were hurting you, but they felt powerless and ashamed. Because they were trying their best, and their best wasn't enough. They didn't have the tools. They lacked the understanding necessary. They were stuck in old habits and patterns. And they closed up. And they left. And disappeared. Closing the door.

And after a time, they gained the tools and understanding. They did the hard work to be better. And they wanted to apologize. But you needed to let go and move on. And you closed your door.

Would you still want that apology? Would it do anything? It would obviously do something for them. For their guilt and their grief. But what about you?
